Strange swelling with headaches

Posted , 1 user is following.

Please help! For the passed 5 months i have been getting headaches (i used to get bad migraines before i had a hysterectomy). These headaches happen about once a week sometimes more. However, these headaches come with head swelling. Its in between my skin and my skull. The swelling happens all over my head In different spots, it feels and looks like i have a goose egg just no color change. They are really painful. Today i got one again and my forehead swelled and i got another painful bump on the back of my skull where my neck and skull meet. The first time it happened was in july, i went to the er and they could see the fluid build up but said they didnt know why or how it got there but there was no swelling on my brain. So nothing ever was done or looked at again. However todays headache hurts bad and my forehead is pretty swollen and the back of my neck is tingley near the other bump and my ears hurt as well. These bumps come and go with the headache. Sometimes its a couple hours and sometimes its a couple days. Once the bump leaves then the spot feels like it is bruised hoever there is no visual sign of bruising. Never any color change. Since this strted in july i always feel tired and grumpy. Do i need to push my doctor to pay attention or find another primary??
